I can't positively confirm it, but I have heard that this song was written specifically for Alfred Hitchcock's 1956 re-made of the 1934 film "The Man Who Knew Too Much." Visitors familiar with the Spanish language may point out -- quite accurately -- that there ought to be an accent mark over the "a" in "sera" in the title and elsewhere. I've omitted it here only partly from laziness, but mainly because some browsers still choke on special symbols like accented vowels.
